Instead of answering it briefly, maybe I should go into more details another time? Maybe tomorrow. I think enough time has passed to talk about that bout of internet drama that took place a few weeks back.... As for the offer to see how the Rodent shirts are before I buy, thanks! Though since they are from the UK, I dunno why, but I'm confident that they'll be fine. I just hope its not like Japanese shirts though, in the way that their size large is like our size medium. <strong>Tim</strong>: FINALLY! ANOTHER TRAILER PARK BOYS FAN I KNOW!!! We should get together and have a Trailer Park Boys party! Have you seen the other reasons? Man... now I <em>Really</em> have to get season 3 on DVD!

He discovered it through his Canadian pal Jason Marcy. Joe Meyer brought over the first DVD of Trailer Park Boys a couple of years ago and I thought it was hilarious!

GAF scares me. the internet scares me more. that is all. p.s. i was weary on ordering the shirts or not.. since they arent licensed and their definition of high quality transfer might be different from a higher standard. so why not HOLD IT! on the PW shirt till i get my SotC shirt so you don't get screwed on a crappy transfer process like i might.... i just like to help people not get screwed. i knew you knew about the rodent rez shirt. i think we both saw them on a gaf thread about gaming shirts.

http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=69496

i remember seeing that you had to have one! i see now that you then spread the love here…
i just didnt know if you knew about the new ones…

but about what you were saying as to why you didnt write about the shirts on IC after you saw them on GAF…

doesn’t EVERYTHING come from gaf?

seriously…(and this is not directed at you..) it’s been getting out of hand! the entire gaming (and i hate to use this word) “blogosphere” pretty much revolves around it. and all of the old “web 1.0″ sites like 1up, GS and IGN that used to just get their news from just GAF are getting their info from all of the “web 2.0″ sites in the blogosphere (see gametab) that all just get their crap from GAF anyway!

so…
where am i going with this?

i dunno i lost track.

i think my point is… GAF scares me.
the internet scares me more.

that is all.

p.s.
i was weary on ordering the shirts or not.. since they arent licensed and their definition of high quality transfer might be different from a higher standard. so why not HOLD IT! on the PW shirt till i get my SotC shirt so you don’t get screwed on a crappy transfer process like i might….

i just like to help people not get screwed.

I always get a chuckle when I see stuff I reported a whiles back appear on the insert credit front-page. Does it bother me? Dear God no! That's just how it goes; we're all just spreading stuff around to each from information that we basically get from each other. Though it sometimes makes me wonder why I never wrote something up for IC first when I had the chance. :) Anyway, I've been meaning to get that Rez shirt (of course) for a while now, as well as the Tetris blocks one (pure fucking genius), but I'm just holding off till the next freelance check arrives. After-all, I just blow money on how many games again last week? Besides, I'm glad I waited, so now I can also get the Phoenix Wright shirt as well! <strong>Katie</strong>: Hey, I wanna call in your show next week. Maybe I can become some regular on-air personality? I could be that "wacky caller guy!!!" Sorry... I just miss college radio.
